Colonized by the Portuguese in the 16th century, Macau was the first European settlement in the Far East. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and Portugal on 13 April 1987, Macau became the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 20 December 1999. China has promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be practiced in Macau, and that Macau will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years.To be updated

Chicken that lost its head

Today is a very foggy day and we checked out of our hotel at noon, hauled our luggage to the MTR and headed for the piers. One hour hydrofoil ferry ride and we arrive in a even foggier Macao. After checking in our hotel, we head to Largo do Senado. This is a large square which has been a hub of Macao for centuries. It was beautifully lighted for Christmas. We had a huge Chinese meal in a fun restaurant there. One of meals was a whole chicken and its' head was included to show it was fresh. The kids didn't [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Lots has happened since my last entry. This trip has been a whirlwind so far. Hopefully I form a fairly coherent story of what's gone down. On December 30th we took the ferry from Hong Kong over to Macau. While Hong Kong is a former British colony, Macau is a former Portugese colony, and it's where Sheena's Mom grew up. It's also becoming the Las Vegas of Asia. We took the ferry with Sheena's brother and sister - both of whom threw up on the trip. Gross. Strangely enough, we had to go through customs to go from Hong [View Full Entry]

Country 34 - A day in Macau Asia » Macau » Macau

Macau.

Day 3 of the trip. Stef and I went to collect another stamp in our passports, we headed off to Macao for the day. With it being the Christmas vacation, HK was very very busy. I had been advised to book the return ferry to Macao in advance, good job too as the boat was full and the lines were long!! So, we booked our tickets on our first day, HK$300 return for the day trip. We had an 11am ferry. We got to the terminal for 10:40 and the queues were large. Even tho we had tickets I was positive [View Full Entry]

Little Cirque du Soleil stop-over in Macau Asia » Macau » Macau

on the Fortress

My last visit to Macau was a great week-end back in December 2002...long time a go, a week-end spent eating, partying and playing golf. This visit was a little different....as you don't party the same way when you are travelling with an 8 years old kid! We had two main goals for these 30 hours in Macau...Cirque du Soleil and Fernando's! Both done, with great fun. First, the new direct flight from Saigon with Viva Macau, the local low-cost. Had no idea what to expect...ended up with an old 767, empty, but not bad...I was just worry that the airline could [View Full Entry]

Thanksgiving in Asia Asia » Macau » Macau

The Ruins of St. Paul's

Nick and Kristen write: Hi Family and Friends! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. We decided to spend Thanksgiving in Hong Kong. We flew out for four days to visit Hong Kong and Macau! We left on Wednesday night and had a wonderful time! The airport in Taipei is interesting. We actually flew out of the Hello Kitty Lounge per the attached picture. The Asians (and particularly the Japanese) have an interesting affection/obsession for this cartoon and actually stood snapping pictures for the better part of 20 minutes while we were there.

Quick trip across to Macau. Clubs were epic. We left at about 7am and went for breakfast. Cab hit a casino worker on a moped however there were no injuries. We hung around, sober enough to know that our driver wasn't at fault. Police came but didn't take our statement. After making sure it was okay for us to leave we had breakfast (nothing was open so ended up with some plain crap!) then caught the ferry back to Hong Kong. Time to bed, 10.30am. Wrecked.

Some F1 racing - Hong Kong and Macau Asia » Macau » Macau

F1 Shanghai

Well, as you probably expected me to say, the Formula 1 was indeed, fantastic! I read that it was a quite a dull race to see on TV, but watching it track side in Shanghai was everything I imagined. The noise and speed of the cars was awesome and the atmosphere great. Lewis Hamilton is a superb driver and noticeably quicker at braking and down shifting into the corners. He drove like a man on a mission, occasionally locking up a wheel, but always making the corner. I really hope he keeps it all together and wins the championship this year; [View Full Entry]

Ferry to Macau

Macau - Vegas of the East While living in Shenzhen, you don't get to experience Chinese history or culture very often. Shenzhen is a young city - less than thirty years old. However, what Shenzhen lacks in history and culture, it clearly makes up in location, location, location! Having a residence permit/visa allows me to come and go as I please in China. This includes making visits to Hong Kong and.....Macau. Both of these cities can be reached within 2-3 hours from Shenzhen. Most of the time is spent waiting for things(buses, metro, ferry and customs) - distance has little to [View Full Entry]
